  Cramfest the morning of December 3rd (PLC morning). Cramfest is a study session for finals for freshmen to come and learn about finals, the final's week schedule, and more. We will have donuts.

Today we watched Honest Poem: by Rudy Francisco

• We watched it once through listening to the words
• Notice all literature elements
• Metaphor
• Hyperbole
• Juxtaposition
• Etc
• We watched it a second time paying more attention to his performance
• Loud and soft
• Fast and slow
• It sounds like he's speaking personally
• Smooth and memorized
• Hand motions when appropriate
• He has mood in his tone

We talked about the Scopes Trial- Very basic info:

• Scopes was teaching evolution
• Evolution was banned
• There was anger between evolution and creationism
• A trial ensued over convicting Scopes or not
• More information

We read to page 30 in Inherit the Wind
